Koschnik Nails Shirley on Gun Rights

Challenger Randy Koschnick, a Jefferson County circuit judge, told Carroll University Republicans last week that a 2003 dissenting opinion written by Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson showed a "hostility to gun owners" and their constitutional rights.

Shirley immediately lied in response:

"Nothing in my record is hostile to gun owners. Nothing in my record is hostile to any group, any individual, any entity."

We could go to the record, but let's (just for fun,) start with the Wisconsin Constitution.

The people have the right to keep and bear arms for security, defense, hunting, recreation or any other lawful purpose.....except if Shirley thinks otherwise, of course. I mean, seriously, folks---what's the Constitution if it gets in the way of Shirley's will?

The Shirley Court, in utter disregard for reality, found that "there is no reason to distinguish between one's home, business, or car," but simultaneously held that a Wisconsin citizen does NOT "have a colorable claim of a constitutional privilege to carry a concealed weapon in his or her vehicle for security."Lemmesee, heah, Gomer. You can have a weapon in your house, which 'cannot be distinguished from your car,' but you CANNOT have a weapon in your car. Uh-huh.

The insanity is based on Screechin'Shirley's will to retain Wisconsin's statutory ban on concealed carry. That's all that's in play here--her will.

To exercise that will, Shirley is perfectly happy to maintain cognitive dissonance, and lie about it as well.
